PREFACE 


The  present  Manual  of  the  New  York  Library  Club 
represents  much  thought  and  many  efforts  on  the  part  of 
the  last  two  administrations.  The  preceding  Manual  had 
been  issued  as  a  supplement  to  the  Bulletin  in  March, 
1913.  Union  with  the  Long  Island  Library  Club  in  1914 
necessitated  a  new  record,  and  the  present  issue  must  be 
credited  to  the  first  President  of  the  enlarged  club,  Mr. 
Frederick  W.  Jenkins,  his  successor,  Dr.  Frank  P.  Hill, 
Miss  Frick,  the  Secretary,  and  the  committees  that  worked 
with  them.  For  their  interest  and  devotion  to  the  cause 
the  thanks  of  the  Club  are  due. 

H.  M.  Lydenberg.  President. 

June,  1917.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH* 


1901  to  1915 

by  charles  alexander  nelson,  a.m. 

The  seventy-sixth  meeting  of  the  New  York  Library 
Club,  the  first  in  the  twentieth  century,  was  held  at  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  23d  Street  and  Fourth 
Avenue,  at  3  p.m.,  January  10,  1901.  Mr.  George  W.  Cole 
acted  as  Secretary  pro  tern.  The  subject  of  having  an 
annual  dinner  was  referred  to  the  Executive  Committee. 
In  the  absence  of  Miss  Lucy  D.  Waterman,  her  paper, 
"On  the  Need  of  a  Library  Reading-room  South  of  the 
Post-Office,"  was  read  by  Mr.  C.  Alexander  Nelson. 
Miss  M.  E.  Burt  read  a  paper,  "On  the  Books  of  1900  for 
the  Young,"  and  Miss  Helen  E.  Haines  followed  with  an 
account  of  the  "Books  of  Fiction  Published  in  1900." 
C.  Alexander  Nelson  announced  the  death  of  Mr.  J.  N. 
Wing,  whereupon  the  following  minute  was  adopted : 
"The  New  York  Library  Club  has  learned  with  deep  regret 
of  the  recent  decease  of  Mr.  Josiah  Norris  Wing,  a 
fellow-member  almost  from  its  organization,  and  one 
always  active  and  zealous  in  promoting  its  best  interests. 
The  Club  desires  to  put  on  record  its  sense  of  its  great 
loss,  as  well  as  an  expression  of  its  high  regard  and 
esteem  for  Mr.  Wing  as  a  man  of  unblemished  character, 
a  faithful  citizen,  an  untiring  worker  in  the  Library  cause, 
and  a  true  and  genial  friend."

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


The  Club  met  on  March  14th  at  4.15  p.m.,  in  the 
Foreign  Missions  Assembly  Room  in  the  Presbyterian 
Building,  150  Fifth  Avenue.  About  80  persons  were 
present.  C.  Alexander  Nelson  reported  progress  on  the 
Club  Handbook,  and  at  his  request,  the  Committee  was 
authorized  to  expend  $300  in  its  publication.  A  paper  on 
"The  Public  and  Library  Methods"  was  read  by  Miss 
Frances  B.  Hawley,  presenting  the  public's  case  against 
the  Librarian  in  regard  to  regulations  and  practices  that 
are  often  grievances  to  the  borrower.  Professor  Harry 
Thurston  Peck,  of  Columbia  University,  editor  of  The 
Bookman,  followed  with  an  address  on  "The  Books  of 
the  Last  Few  Years."  He  noted  the  extraordinary  sales 
of  popular  books,  read  to-day  and  forgotten  to-morrow. 
The  people  want  advice  in  reading.  We  have  no  critics 
worthy  of  the  name.  The  influence  and  power  of  the 
librarian,  he  said,  increase  every  year,  and  ought  to  make 
for  better  reading.  Professor  Franklin  H.  Giddings  gave 
a  brief  but  very  instructive  talk  on  "What  Books  Should 
be  Classed  as  Sociology  in  a  Public  Library?"  The  order 
suggested  was :  General  works,  Population,  Social  Mind, 
Social  Organization,  and  Social  Welfare,  with  ample  cross 
references  and  guides. 

In  the  evening  the  seventh  dinner  of  the  Club  was  held 
at  the  rooms  of  the  Aldine  Association,  111  Fifth  Avenue. 
President  Eames  presided  and  the  after-dinner  speakers 
were  Henry  J.  Carr,  Hon.  D.  S.  Boody,  Rev.  Thomas  H. 
Slicer,  Bolton  Hall,  Prof.  W.  P.  Trent,  Nathan  Haskell 
Dole,  and  John  H.  Crosby. 

The  sixteenth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  the  University 
Settlement,  189  Eldridge  Street,  May  9,  1901,  at  3.30  p.m. 
Dr.  J.  S.  Billings  gave  an  extremely  interesting  account 


14 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


of  "The  Public  Card  Catalogue  of  the  New  York  Public 
Library."  Rev.  Dr.  MacMahon  followed  with  a  paper 
on  "Reading  Circles  as  a  Help  to  the  Library,"  and  he 
also  read  the  remarks  made  by  Archbishop  Corrigan 
regarding  the  possible  consolidation  of  the  Cathedral 
Library  with  the  New  York  Public  Library. 

The  autumnal  meeting  was  held  on  October  10th  in  the 
Aguilar  Library,  197  East  Broadway,  at  3.15  p.m.  Fully 
150  were  present.  President  H.  M.  Leipziger  in  his  inau- 
gural remarks  emphasized  the  need  of  fraternal  and  social 
intercourse  among  members.  Miss  Helen  E.  Haines  gave 
a  summary  of  the  A.  L.  A.  meeting  at  Waukesha,  and 
Dr.  Canfield  gave  an  account  of  the  meeting  of  the  State 
Library  Association  at  Lake  Placid.  Messrs.  Bostwick, 
Gaillard  and  Nelson  were  appointed  a  committee  to 
arrange  plans  for  Library  Institutes  in  the  vicinity  of  New 
York  during  the  coming  year. 

The  80th  meeting  was  held  November  14,  1901,  in  the 
hall  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building,  Fourth  Avenue  and 
23d  Street,  at  3  p.m.  About  200  were  present.  A  letter 
from  Mrs.  H.  L.  Elmendorf,  explaining  the  plans  of  the 
Institute  Committee  of  the  State  Library  Association,  was 
read  and  referred  to  the  Institute  Committee.  This  Com- 
mittee reported  that  Institutes  would  be  arranged  for  in 
Westchester  County.  Mr.  W.  R.  Eastman  presented  an 
illustrated  lecture  on  "Some  Typical  Library  Building 
Plans."  Mr.  Arthur  E.  Bostwick  explained  the  progress 
made  in  plans  for  the  Carnegie  library  buildings  for  New 
York  City. 

On  January  2,  1902,  the  Club  met  at  the  assembly  hall 
of  the  Board  of  Education,  at  3.15  p.m.  Two  hundred 
were  present.   Dr.  Leipziger  spoke  briefly  on  "Possibilities 


15 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


of  Library  Expansion  in  Connection  with  the  Board  of 
Education."  Provision  is  made  for  libraries  in  the  public 
schools.  Four  evening  reading  rooms  had  to  be  closed  for 
lack  of  appropriation  for  support.  Miss  Rathbone  opened 
the  discussion  on  "Classification  of  Fiction  by  Subject  and 
Value,"  followed  by  Mrs.  Fairchild,  Mr.  John  Thomson 
of  Philadelphia,  Mr.  Gaillard,  Miss  Kelso,  Mr.  Bostwick 
and  F.  P.  Hill.  A  committee  was  appointed  to  co-operate 
with  the  Keystone  State  Library  Association  in  further 
consideration  of  this  important  question. 

By  invitation  of  the  Grolier  Club  a  special  meeting 
was  held  at  their  Club  House  on  February  13th  at  3  p.m. 
An  address  of  welcome  was  made  by  Mr.  Howard  Mans- 
field, the  President  of  the  Grolier  Club,  to  which  Dr. 
Leipziger  briefly  responded.  Mr.  H.  W.  Kent  gave  an 
address  on  "Mosaic  Bookbindings,"  illustrated  by  crayon 
sketches.  Mr.  George  H.  Baker  followed  with  a  paper  on 
"The  Librarian's  Duty  as  a  Bookbuyer."  Miss  E.  L. 
Foote,  having  resigned  as  Secretary,  Mr.  Silas  H.  Berry 
was  appointed  to  that  office.  Members  tarried  to  examine 
the  exhibit  of  fine  bindings  and  to  inspect  the  fine  library 
of  the  Grolier  Club. 

On  March  13,  1902,  the  Club  met  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
rooms,  23d  Street  and  Fourth  Avenue,  at  3  p.m.  An 
interesting  address  was  delivered  by  Mr.  Melvil  Dewey 
on  "Library  Progress  and  Prospects."  In  the  evening 
the  Club  held  its  ninth  dinner  at  the  Aldine  Association. 
There  was  an  attendance  of  nearly  300.  The  guests  of 
honor  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Andrew  Carnegie.  An  hour's 
reception  preceded  the  dinner,  the  menu  for  which  was 
filled  with  apt  quotations  never  before  so  applied.  Dr. 
Leipziger  acted  as  toastmaster;  he  said  that  Mr.  Carnegie 


16 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


had  turned  iron  into  gold  and  then  converted  that  metal 
into  a  great  spiritual  force.  That  if  ever  there  was  to  be 
a  saint's  day  in  the  Library  calendar  it  would  be  "Saint 
Andrew's  Day."  Melvil  Dewey  was  the  first  speaker 
making  a  stirring  plea  for  libraries  for  country  hamlets 
and  country  folk.  He  closed  with  the  wish  that  he  had 
three  hours  in  which  to  present  some  of  his  ideas  about 
libraries.  Mr.  Carnegie  followed  in  a  very  happy  vein. 
He  said  Mr.  Dewey  did  not  need  three  hours,  "he  strikes 
the  nail  on  the  head  in  a  few  minutes.  I  have  made 
to-day  a  sort  of  Library  Day.  The  idea  of  coming  here 
to  be  with  librarians  to-night  seemed  so  delightful  that  I 
thought  I  would  make  a  full  day  of  it,  so  I  have  passed 
upon  forty  applications  for  libraries.  And  I  am  happy 
to  say  that  all  of  the  applications  considered  to-day  were 
approved.  I  assure  you  that  it  was  a  very  great  privilege 
to  be  able  to  give  the  money  that  was  required.  *  *  * 
Is  it  really  true  that  we  are  known  by  the  company  we 
keep?  Then  you  librarians  belong  to  the  highest  society 
that  this  world  can  produce.  *  *  *  You  must  experience 
great  delight  to  know  that  you  are  continually  in  the 
presence  of  the  master  spirits  of  the  world  which  time  has 
left  to  refine  and  bless  us  all.  I  once  asked  Lord  Acton 
how  many  books  it  would  be  necessary  to  put  into  a 
library  representing  the  world's  best  literature.  Four 
thousand  volumes  was  the  number  he  named."  Mr.  C.  C. 
Burlingham  spoke  of  the  school  library  system  of  the  city. 
John  Kendrick  Bangs  made  a  delightful  speech,  full  of 
happy  allusions  and  amusing  anecdotes.  Dr.  John  S. 
Billings  spoke  as  representative  of  the  American  Library 
Association,  and  Miss  Mary  E.  Hazeltine  for  the  State 
Association.    The  evening  was  a  most  enjoyable  one.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


The  seventeenth  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held 
on  May  8th,  at  3  p.m.,  in  the  Library  of  the  American 
Museum  of  Natural  History.  On  motion  of  C.  Alexander 
Nelson,  Frederick  Saunders,  A.M.,  now  in  his  ninety-fifth 
year,  was  elected  the  first  American  Honorary  Member 
of  the  Club.  Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie  was  also  elected  an

of  the  Museum,  spoke  on  "The  Relation  of  the  Library 
to  the  Museum."  Mr.  Cole  submitted  a  "Report  on  the 
Handbook"  for  the  Publishing  Committee,  and  the  Club 
voted  thanks  and  congratulations  to  the  Committee  for 
the  excellent  work  accomplished.  Mr.  Anthony  Wood- 
ward, Librarian  of  the  Museum,  spoke  on  "The  Literature 
of  Natural  History."  The  Museum  Library,  started  in 
1869  with  the  gift  of  one  book,  now  has  above  54,000 
volumes. 

The  85th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  at  3  p.m.  on

317  West  56th  Street.  Miss  Helen  Haines  told  of  the 
Post  conference  trip  to  Bar  Harbor  of  the  A.  L.  A., 
following  the  Conference  at  Magnolia  in  June.  Miss 
Baldwin  gave  a  breezy  account  of  the  social  side  of 
"Library  Work"  at  Lake  Placid,  and  Mr.  R.  G.  Welsh 
reviewed  the  business  transacted  and  subjects  discussed 
at  the  sessions.  Dr.  Andrew  F.  Currier  gave  an  address 
on  "The  Sterilization  of  Books  by  Vapor  of  Formalin," 
followed  by  a  discussion. 

On  November  19th,  at  3.30  p.m.,  the  annual  educational 
meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  in  the  assembly  hall  of 
the  Board  of  Education.  Dr.  E.  D.  Shimer  gave  an 
address  on  "Public  School  Libraries,"  showing  what  New 


18 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


York  has  done  for  them.  Dr.  E.  W.  Stitt  spoke  on 
"A  Boy's  Education  as  Influenced  by  Libraries."  Miss 
Julia  Richman  read  a  paper  on  "Two  Universal  Phases 
of  Library  Reading  by  Public  School  Girls."  Miss  Ade- 
laide E.  Brown  explained  the  New  York  Public  Library's

A  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  in  Earl  Hall,  Columbia

death  of  the  only  American  Honorary  Member  of  the  Club, 
Mr.  Frederick  Saunders,  ex-librarian  of  the  Astor  Library, 
at  the  age  of  ninety-six  years.  Dr.  Thomas  Denison 
Wood,  of  the  Department  of  Physical  Education,  spoke 
on  "The  Hygiene  of  Reading."  For  greatest  ease  of 
reading  a  printed  line  should  not  be  over  three  inches 
long,  and  the  preferable  light  is  an  indirect  white  light. 
Readers  should  seek  a  north  window,  if  possible,  hold 
book  at  right  angles  to  the  axis  of  the  eye,  and  hold  the 
head  erect.  Dr.  Joseph  H.  McMahon  spoke  on  "Dangers 
of  Over  Reading."  The  purpose  of  reading  is,  or  should 
be,  to  stimulate  thought.  Much  reading  cannot  be  of  use 
unless  it  produces  thought.  Miss  Josephine  Rathbone 
reported  on  Library  Institutes  held  by  the  Long  Island 
Library  Club  and  Mr.  Bostwick  on  some  held  by  this  Club. 

A  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  March  12,  1903,  at 
3  p.m.,  in  the  new  Carnegie  building  of  the  Yorkville 
Branch  of  the  Public  Library.  A  discussion  on  the  use 
of  the  accession  book  was  opened  by  Mr.  Frank  Weiten- 
kampf.  Miss  Hitchler,  Dr.  Billings,  F.  P.  Hill  and  Mr. 
Bardwell  spoke  advocating  its  use.  Mr.  Bliss,  of  the 
City  College,  exhibited  a  card  to  take  its  place.  Three 
papers  were  read  on  the  question  "What  Do  Teachers 
Read?"  by  Miss  Mary  D.  Pretlow,  Miss  Alice  Wilde  and 
Miss  Florence  Overton.

Dr.  N.  L.  Britton  extended  a  hearty  welcome.  The  Insti- 
tute Committee  announced  a  May  Institute  to  be  held  at 
Irvington-on-the-Hudson.*  Silas  H.  Berry  gave  an  illus- 
trated address  on  "Some  Flower  Structures  and  Their 
Meaning." 

The  90th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  October  8th,  at 
3.30  p.m.,  in  the  hall  of  the  Board  of  Education.  Dr. 
Charles  P.  Gilbert  spoke  on  "The  Public  Library  and  the 
Public  School,"  and  C.  G.  Leland  explained  "The  New 
York  Public  School  Library  System"  for  installing  libraries 
in  the  public  schools.  Amendments  to  the  Constitution 
were  adopted  adding  all  the  officers  to  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee and  making  the  President  its  chairman. 

The  Club  met  November  12th,  at  3  p.m.,  by  invitation, 
in  the  Insurance  Library  of  the  Equitable  Life  Assurance 
Society,  120  Broadway.  The  two  hundred  present  were 
welcomed  by  Mr.  William  Alexander,  Secretary  of  the 
Society.  A  description  of  the  Insurance  Library,  bought 
en  bloc  in  1886  from  the  estate  of  Cornelius  Walford  of 
London,  was  given  by  the  Librarian,  Miss  Mary  E.  Miller. 
R.  R.  Bowker  followed  with  interesting  reminiscences 
of  Mr.  Walford.  Dr.  James  H.  Canfield  read  a  paper  on

the  topic  by  Dr.  Richardson,  Air.  Elmendorf,  Mr.  Bowker 
and  others.  The  club  pin  was  adopted.  A  collation  was 
informally  served. 

At  3  p.m.,  January  14,  1904,  the  Club  met  at  the  Chatham 
Square  Branch  of  the  New  York  Public  Library.  Dr. 
David  Blaustein,  in  an  address  on  "Aggressive  Educa- 
tional Work  of  Lower  East  Side  Libraries,"  made  a  strong 
plea  for  American  books  in  the  Jewish  language  of  the 
lower  east  side,  and  for  Jewish  history  and  literature  in 
the  English  language.  Mrs.  V.  G.  Simkhovitch  followed 
with  a  "destructive  criticism,"  as  she  called  it,  on  "Uses 
and  Limitations  of  Libraries  and  Neighborhood  Work." 
An  urgent  appeal  was  made  for  the  sale  of  more  copies 
of  the  handbook.  Four  hundred  circular  letters  were 
sent  in  December  to  library  workers  not  members  of  the 
Club. 

The  tenth  dinner  of  the  Club  was  given  at  the  Aldine 
Association,  February  16th.  "The  evening  of  February 
16th,"  writes  Mr.  R.  G.  Welsh,  chairman  of  the  Dinner 
Committee,  "was  bitterly  cold.  It  was  Mardi  Gras,  which 
is  a  night  of  many  social  functions — it  was  one  of  the 
evenings  when  Parsifal  was  rendered  at  the  Opera  House 
— three  serious  facts  which  may  account  for  the  presence 
at  the  annual  dinner  of  the  Library  Club  of  only  seventy- 
nine  members  and  friends.  We  had  with  us  six  invited 
guests,  Dr.  Herbert  Putnam,  President  of  the  A.  L.  A., 
Miss  Ruth  Putnam,  Mrs.  Charlotte  Perkins  Gilman  and  her 
husband,  Miss  Marguerite  Merington,  and  Mr.  Burgess 
Johnson.  *  *  *  Dr.  Putnam,  Mrs.  Gilman,  Miss  Merington 
and  Mr.  Johnson  spoke  each  in  a  happy  vein,  and  one 
of  our  own  number,  Mr.  Nelson  of  Columbia,  gave  us 
some  reminiscences  of  his  early  years  as  a  librarian."

Chapel,  Teachers  College,  on  November  10,  1904,  at  3  p.m. 
Dr.  James  E.  Russell  cordially  welcomed  the  Club  and 
contrasted  the  German  and  American  methods  in  sec- 
ondary education.  Dr.  John  T.  Buchanan  gave  a  brilliant 
talk  on  "Three  Bs — the  Boy,  the  Book  and  the  Ball,"  and 
predicted  the  best  type  of  manhood  as  a  result  of  the 
judicious  combination  of  the  three.  Mrs.  Mathilde  C. 
Ford  read  a  paper  on  "The  Relation  Between  the  Public 
School  and  the  Public  Library,"  criticising  the  maintenance 
of  school  libraries  by  the  Board  of  Education.  A  reso- 
lution was  adopted  declaring  that  the  work  of  Library  In- 
stitutes could  be  carried  on  more  effectively  by  the  State 
Education  Department.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


evening  of  April  27,  1905,  at  the  Park  Avenue  Hotel,  "and 
proved  pleasant  and  successful  in  every  way.  There  was 
an  attendance  of  about  150,  including  many  guests  from 
out  of  town.  The  President,  Mr.  C.  Alexander  Nelson, 
presided  and  introduced  the  various  speakers,  all  of  whom, 
in  the  course  of  their  remarks,  referred  to  the  length 
and  usefulness  of  his  activities  in  the  library  profession. 
The  after-dinner  exercises  were  opened  by  Melvil  Dewey, 
who  was  introduced  as  the  founder  of  the  Club,  and  who 
spoke  of  the  great  changes  effected  in  library  affairs 
during  the  past  twenty  years,  and  the  bright  outlook  for 
the  future.  Edmund  Clarence  Stedman  read  a  poem.  *  *  * 
Ion  Perdicaris  gave  an  interesting  account  of  his  cap- 
tivity in  Morocco  a  year  ago,  and  of  the  measures  taken 
by  the  American  government  for  his  release,  and  spoke 
of  his  pleasure  in  being  present  at  this  half-century  anni- 
versary of  one  of  his  Harvard  classmates."  A  poem  sent 
by  H.  L.  Koopman,  Librarian  of  Brown  University,  was

W.  H.  Maxwell,  Professor  William  H.  Carpenter,  Rev.  Dr. 
Merle  St.  Croix  Wright,  and  Dr.  E.  C.  Richardson,

making  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Club,  on  behalf 
of  the  club  members,  presented  to  the  President  a  loving 
cup,  in  commemoration  of  his  fiftieth  anniversary  in 
library  work  and  in  token  of  their  affection  and  regard. 
The  presentation  address  was  made  for  the  Committee  by 
Mr.  Arthur  E.  Bostwick"  in  humorous  verses.

submitted  a  report  in  which  the  size  of  the  list  was  esti-

mated  at  300  pages.  It  was  voted  that  the  Secretary  be 
paid  a  salary  of  $30  a  year  and  necessary  expenses. 
The  topic  of  the  day  being  "The  Library,"  as  one  of  the 
educational  facilities  of  Greater  New  York,  President 
Nelson  opened  the  discussion  with  a  few  remarks  show- 
ing the  extraordinary  growth  of  library  work  during  the 
last  fifty  years.  Miss  Mary  W.  Plummer  read  a  char- 
acteristically exhaustive  paper  on  "The  Library  Facilities 
of  New  York,"  showing  the  extent  to  which  libraries  of 
all  classes  contribute  toward  education.  The  chief  defect 
would  seem  to  be  the  lack  of  evening  hours  at  the  great 
reference  libraries,  and  the  lack  of  Sunday  hours  at  all 
libraries  except  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  Cooper  Union.  Dr. 
E.  C.  Richardson  read  a  paper  on  "The  Library  in  the 
Community"  from  the  librarian's  standpoint.  Dr.  John 
De  W.  Warner  treated  the  same  topic  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  layman,  making  a  strong  plea  for  the  people 
who  have  a  limited  amount  of  time. 

The  100th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  on  the  evening 
of  October  12,  1905,  in  the  refectory  of  the  General  Theo- 
logical Seminary,  Chelsea  Square.  Nearly  150  persons 
were  present.  Mr.  Ingalls  Kimball  presented  a  paper  tell- 
ing how  a  book  gets  to  be — how  a  manuscript  becomes 
a  physical  book.  Mr.  Henry  Lewis  Johnson,  editor  of 
Printing  Art,  read  a  paper  on  the  "Influences  Affecting 
Modern  Printing."  He  also  told  of  the  printing  school 
established  in  Boston,  and  the  movement  in  Massachusetts 
for  technical  instruction  provided  by  the  State. 

A  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  at  3  p.m.,  November  9th, 
in  the  Gymnasium  of  the  General  Theological  Seminary.

Good  Illustration."  Mr.  Paltsits  told  of  "bogus  illus- 
tration"; Mr.  Bostwick  spoke  of  the  false  nature  and 
science  pictures  and  of  the  many  stories  and  verses 
written  to  fit  pictures,  and  Mr.  Weitenkampf  gave  an 
account  of  the  print  collection  of  the  New  York  Public 
Library. 

On  the  evening  of  January  12,  1906,  the  New  York  and 
Long  Island  Library  Clubs  held  a  joint  meeting  in  the 
refectory  of  the  General  Theological  Seminary.  Mr.  Kent 
welcomed  the  visiting  club,  spoke  of  the  generosity  of  the 
Seminary  in  supplying  a  place  of  meeting  and  of  the 
difficulty  met  by  the  officers  in  finding  a  suitable  permanent 
place  and  of  his  own  vain  efforts  to  secure  an  interview 
with  Mr.  Carnegie  with  the  solving  of  the  problem  in  view. 
A  paper  on  "Practical  Bibliography,"  by  Mrs.  A.  H. 
Leypoldt,  was  read  by  Miss  Haines.  Dr.  E.  C.  Rich- 
ardson spoke  on  the  subject  from  the  scholarly  point  of 
view,  Mr.  George  H.  Baker  referred  to  the  value  of 
bibliography  to  the  library,  Mr.  W.  A.  White  of  its 
interest  to  the  collector.  Brief  remarks  were  made  by 
Mr.  Dewey,  Mr.  Growoll,  Mr.  Hopkins,  Mr.  Cutter,  Mr. 
Wyer  and  Mr.  Huntington. 

On  the  afternoon  of  March  8th,  the  meeting  of  the  Club 
was  held  in  the  Milbank  Chapel  of  Teachers  College. 
The  topic  of  the  day  was  "Bookbinding,"  upon  which  Mr. 
John  Cotton  Dana  gave  a  valuable  address,  dwelling  chiefly 
on  rebinding  for  libraries,  and  called  attention  to  an  exhibit 
in  the  Educational  Museum,  which  was  the  result  of  fifteen 


26

years'  study  and  experience  of  the  subject.  Miss  Collar 
gave  a  talk  on  the  historical  side  of  bookbinding,  and 
Miss  Rathbone  explained  the  Newark  method  of  pre- 
paring books  for  the  binder,  with  a  saving  of  three- 
quarters  of  the  time  usually  spent. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  held 
March  22d,  the  Program  Committee  was  instructed  to 
secure  some  entertainment  for  the  May  meeting  at  an 
expense  not  exceeding  $50. 

The  twelfth  dinner  of  the  New  York  Library  Club,  in 
celebration  of  the  attainment  of  its  majority,  was  held 
on  the  evening  of  April  17,  1906,  in  the  rooms  of  the

meeting  in  the  Auditorium  of  the  Charity  Organization 
Society.  The  various  committees  reported  and  the  Presi- 
dent spoke  of  the  excellent  work  done  by  them  all.  The 
new  Constitution  submitted  by  the  Executive  Committee 
was  adopted.  The  Committee  on  Union  List  of  Periodi- 
cals reported  that  less  than  one-third  of  cost  of  publi- 
cation had  been  subscribed.  The  Committee  was  con- 
tinued. A  resolution  of  sympathy  with  our  fellow- 
workers,  sufferers  in  the  San  Francisco  disaster,  was 
adopted.  The  entertainment  of  the  evening  was  fur- 
nished by  Miss  Agnes  Repplier,  who  read  a  delightful 
paper  on  the  "Mission  of  Humor."

"Glimpses  of  Russian  Authors,"  and  spoke  of  the  books 
used  by  Russian  readers  in  the  Astor  Library.  Miss  Ida

libraries.  Mr.  Charles  W.  Burrows,  of  Cleveland,  spoke 
on  the  postal  situation.    Dr.  Billings  finished  in  lighter

funds  of  the  Club  were  in  a  bank  that  had  suspended 
payment,  and  made  a  special  appeal  for  dues,  to  which  a 
good  response  was  made.  The  address  was  by  President

at  3  p.m.,  in  the  58th  Street  Branch,  New  York  Public  Li- 
brary. A  report  by  the  Dinner  Committee  led  to  a  lively 
discussion  and  a  vote  that  the  dinner  be  held  after  Easter, 
price  of  tickets  to  be  $2,  any  deficit  to  be  met  by  the  Club. 
Discussion  of  the  topic  "How  Can  the  Public  Library  Co- 
operate with  Organized  Efforts  to  Better  Social  Condi- 
tions?" was  opened  by  Mr.  Robert  Bruere,  of  the  New 
York  Association  for  Improving  the  Condition  of  the  Poor, 
who  presented  some  novel  ideas  as  to  how  a  library  might 
go  out  in  search  of  new  business.  Mr.  Robert  H.  Whitten 
followed  with  a  paper  on  "Special  Libraries."  The  "Round 
Table"  on  the  "Service  of  a  Public  Library  to  the  Va- 
rious Departments  of  the  City  Government"  was  led  by 
Mr.  Walter  B.  Briggs.  Mr.  Bruere  was  asked :  "Can 
the  district  visitors  to  the  poor  form  a  connecting  link 
with  the  public  library"  He  answered  in  the  affirma- 
tive. 

On  the  evening  of  April  30th,  in  the  midst  of  a  terrific 
thunder  storm,  thirty-three  members  and  guests  of  the 
Club  sat  down  to  the  fourteenth  dinner  of  the  Club  at 
the  Park  Avenue  Hotel,  fifty  per  cent,  more  women  than 
men  at  table.  It  proved  one  of  the  most  sociable  and 
enjoyable  of  the  Club  dinners,  a  veritable  family  gather- 
ing. Dr.  George  Cary  Eggleston  spoke  on  the  novel 
and  the  work  and  value  of  the  sentimentalist.  Mrs.  Anna 
Garlin  Spencer  gave  charming  reminiscences  of  browsing 
in  an  old-fashioned  library  and  made  a  plea  for  more 
open  shelves  in  libraries.    Rev.  Thomas  R.  Slicer  with  his

usual  humor  hit  off  the  stack  system  of  storing  books, 
so-many-and-a-half  stories  above  and  below  the  level 
of  delivery,  and  no  book  more  than  42  feet  in  a 
straight  line  from  the  finger-tips  of  the  attendant.  Mrs. 
Martha  Foote  Crowe  pleaded  for  more  poetry  in  libraries. 
Charles  Battell  Loomis  read  some  of  his  inimitable 
fables  in  his  inimitable  manner,  and  Mr.  Bostwick  pre- 
sented some  letters  of  regret  purporting  to  come  from 
celebrities,  closing  with  a  humorous  ballad  of  "The  Girl 
at  the  Charging  Desk,"  signed  R.  K. 

The  twenty-third  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held 
May  14th,  at  3.30  p.m.,  in  the  Chapel  of  Teachers  College. 
After  reception  of  reports,  Mr.  Sutton,  of  Manchester, 
England,  was  cordially  welcomed.  Mr.  R.  R.  Bowker 
spoke  on  his  recent  visit  to  European  libraries,  and  brought 
greetings  to  the  Club  from  Dr.  Andersson,  of  Stockholm, 
and  from  Miss  Palmgren,  of  pleasant  memory.  Mr.  Arthur 
E.  Bostwick,  President  of  the  A.  L.  A.,  delivered  an 
address  on  the  work  of  five  Western  States  for  library 
advancement.    Membership  now  about  315. 

A  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  in  the  rooms  of  the 
Authors'  Club,  November  12th,  at  3  p.m.  After  announc- 
ing the  program  for  the  year  as  covering  the  relations 
of  libraries  with  the  professions  or  trades  most  nearly 
connected  with  their  work,  authors,  publishers,  binders  and 
artists,  President  Bostwick  presented  Mr.  Francis  W. 
Halsey,  who  discussed  the  question  "How  Does  the  Circu- 
lation of  Books  from  Public  Libraries  Affect  Their  Sale  to 
Individuals?"  Mr.  Montrose  J.  Moses  followed  on  "How 
Much  Do  Authors  Use  Libraries  in  the  Writing  of 
Books?"  He  designated  the  library  as  a  possible  demo- 
cratic literary  academy  of  the  future.    Dr.  Billings  re- 


31 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


marked  that  the  author  should  give  the  library  time  to 
find  and  arrange  the  material  desired  for  some  special 
purpose.  Like  editors,  librarians,  he  said,  are  supposed 
to  know  everything,  and  they  come  about  as  near  to  it  as 
the  editors.  Mr.  Duffield  Osborne  emphasized  the  appeal 
for  access  to  the  shelves  and  spoke  on  "Does  An  Author 
Write  Consciously  for  Public  Library  Readers?"  He 
thought  not.  Mr.  Bostwick  spoke  of  the  "infra-library" 
literature  very  popular  with  non-library  users.  Miss  Lord 
called  attention  to  the  decided  advance  in  the  quality  of 
fiction  found  on  public  news  stands,  attributing  the  change 
to  the  influence  of  the  public  library.  Mr.  Moses  noted 
similar  change  in  the  quality  of  melodrama.  Mr.  Bowker 
gave  an  account  of  the  origin  of  the  Authors'  Club  and 
how  it  came  to  have  rooms  in  Carnegie  Hall,  and  Dr. 
Rossiter  Johnson  called  attention  to  its  collection  of 
literary  biography  in  which  were  some  very  rare 
books. 

The  114th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  jointly  with 
the  Long  Island  Library  Club  on  January  14,  1909,  at  the 
rooms  of  the  Aldine  Association.  Mr.  George  Haven 
Putnam  gave  an  address  on  the  subject  of  copyright.  Mr. 
Samuel  W.  Marvin  spoke  on  the  manufacture  of  books  for 
library  use.  Mr.  Frank  N.  Doubleday  followed  with  a 
few  remarks  on  prices  and  discounts. 

About  400  members  and  their  friends  assembled  at  the 
Hotel  Marlborough  on  the  evening  of  January  28th,  on  the 
occasion  of  the  fifteenth  dinner  of  the  Club.  A  larger 
number  than  the  New  York  Library  Club  had  ever  gath- 
ered together  for  any  occasion.  President  Bostwick  ex- 
plained that  the  program  of  the  evening  was  in  line 
with  the  year's  programs  for  the  regular  meetings  of 

32

the  Club.  An  appropriate  gift  was  handed  to  each  speaker 
and  a  bit  of  presentation  poetry  attached  was  read.  Mr. 
Charles  Battell  Loomis  described  how  the  "no  ordinary 
man"  wrote,  illustrated  and  sold  his  own  manuscript.  He 
received  a  can  of  midnight  oil  tied  with  the  Club's  colors, 
and  responded  that  an  author  is  always  glad  to  see  a  full 
dinner  pail.  Dr.  I.  N.  Funk,  expressing  appreciation  of  a 
new  printing  press,  made  a  plea  for  simplified  spelling 
from  the  publisher's  point  of  view.  Mr.  Troy  Kinney, 
illustrator,  received  a  foot  of  red,  white  and  blue  lead 
pencil,  and  trusted  he  might  do  as  well  as  Mr.  Loomis, 
whose  story  described  the  production  of  a  dozen  pictures 
in  an  hour.  Mrs.  K.  E.  Barry,  of  Olivers'  bindery,  smiled 
thanks  for  a  bookish-looking  piece  of  binding,  and  spoke 
of  the  artistic  and  practical  in  bindery  work.  Mr.  Walter 
Cook  received  a  trowel  with  which  to  lay  the  corner- 
stones of  library  buildings.  Mr.  Hamilton  Holt,  of  the 
Independent,  acknowledged  receipt  of  a  pair  of  shears, 
and  spoke  of  the  efforts  of  his  magazine  to  be  of  use 
to  librarians  in  the  selection  of  books.  Miss  Sarah  Askew, 
of  the  New  York  State  Library  Commission,  recited  some 
Uncle  Remus  stories. 

On  March  11,  1909,  a  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  at 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  213  West  23d  Street,  at  3.15  p.m.  Amend- 
ments to  the  Constitution  recommended  by  the  Council 
were  presented  and  adopted,  providing  for  life  member- 
ship, and  a  smaller  number  for  a  quorum  of  the  Council. 
The  topic  for  the  day  was  'The  Relations  Between 
Librarians  and  Book-binders."  Miss  Rose  Murray  con- 
trasted the  method  of  the  binder  of  the  past  with  that 
of  the  binder  for  the  public  library  of  to-day.  Mr.  Robert 
Rutter,  Mr.  F.  J.  Pfister  and  Mr.  Cedric  Chivers  presented 


33 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


the  subject  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  binder,  the 
latter  emphasizing  the  problems  arising  from  the  endless 
variety  of  paper  used  in  making  books. 

The  twenty-fourth  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held 
May  13,  1909,  in  the  96th  Street  Branch,  New  York  Public 
Library,  at  3.15  p.m.  An  amendment  to  the  Constitution, 
striking  out  the  clause  in  Art.  VI  limiting  the  expenses  for 
any  meeting,  was  adopted.  A  resolution  on  the  death  of 
Dr.  James  Hulme  Canfield,  Librarian  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, was  read,  accepted  and  ordered  spread  on  the  min- 
utes. "Art  in  Its  Relation  to  Libraries"  was  the  topic  for 
discussion.  Mr.  C.  H.  Israels,  of  the  Municipal  Art  So- 
ciety, spoke  on  "What  the  Public  Library  Can  Do  for  Art'* 
in  stimulating  public  interest  in  all  efforts  for  city  better- 
ment. Mr.  W.  S.  Kellogg  illustrated  his  remarks  on  "Art 
Features  of  a  Library  Building"  by  photographs  of  the 
Carnegie  branch  buildings,  pointing  out  their  artistic  fea- 
tures. Mr.  Ralph  P.  Willis  spoke  on  "Mural  Proofs  for 
Interior  Decoration,"  showing  many  illustrations  of  the 
stencil  process. 

A  joint  meeting  of  the  New  York  and  Long  Island 
Library  Clubs  was  held  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building,  215 
West  23d  Street,  on  December  19th,  at  3.15  p.m.  The  resig- 
nation of  Mr.  George  Watson  Cole  as  President  was  an- 
nounced and  the  Council  reported  the  appointment  of  Miss 
Elizabeth  G.  Baldwin  to  fill  the  unexpired  term,  and  of 
Miss  Harriet  B.  Prescott  as  Vice-President  in  Miss  Bald- 
win's place.  A  resolution  expressing  deep  regret  at  the 
death  of  Mr.  Adolph  Growoll,  late  editor  of  The  Publish- 
er's Weekly,  was  presented  and  adopted.  The  Club  then 
listened  to  an  address  on  "Henrik  Ibsen,"  delivered  by 
Professor  Nathaniel  Schmidt  of  Cornell  University.  "All

who  were  present  felt  the  inspiration  of  the  speaker's 
earnestness,  sincerity  and  elevation  of  thought." 

The  118th  meeting  of  the  New  York  Library  Club  was 
held  at  the  Harlem  Branch,  New  York  Public  Library,  on 
March  16,  1910,  at  3  p.m.  Miss  Julia  E.  Elliott  read  a  paper 
on  "Indexing  and  Some  Other  Unorganized  Lines  of  Li- 
brary Work."  A  paper  by  George  Watson  Cole  on  "Book 
Collectors  as  Public  Library  Benefactors"  was  read  by 
Miss  Ruth  S.  Granniss.  Mr.  Cole  treated  the  subject  very 
broadly  and  exhaustively.  A  third  paper  on  "The  History 
of  Book-selling,  Old  and  New"  was  read  by  Mr.  F.  W. 
Jenkins,  treating  mainly  of  ancient  and  medieval  times, 
and  touching  but  lightly  on  modern  conditions. 

The  twenty-fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held 
May  13,  1910,  at  the  Museum  of  Natural  History,  at  3  p.m.. 
The  program  contained  four  papers  of  retrospect  and  four 
of  forecast  for  the  coming  quarter  century.  Miss  J.  A. 
Rathbone  in  "Changes  in  Statistics"  showed  that  the  num- 
ber of  libraries  of  over  1,000  volumes  had  increased  89  per 
cent,  since  1885,  that  the  number  of  volumes  in  the 
libraries  of  the  country  had  increased  215  per  cent,  and: 
that  the  circulation  of  the  libraries  had  increased  275  per 
cent.  In  "Changes  in  Methods"  Miss  Theresa  Hitchler 
pointed  out  that  there  had  been  a  very  great  advance 
toward  simplicity  and  freedom.  Miss  Harriet  B.  Prescott 
in  "Changes  in  Scope"  showed  that  library  work  had  ex- 
panded to  include  work  with  children,  state  commission 
work  and  traveling  and  home  library  work,  that  library 
schools  and  training  classes  had  been  established,  and  that 
there  had  been  great  increase  in  the  privileges  extended 
to  borrowers  of  books.  Mr.  R.  R.  Bowker,  noting  the 
"Changes  in  Ideals,"  held  that  the  ideal  was  that  the 


35 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


libraries  of  the  country  should  be  so  unified  that  every 
reader,  anywhere,  can  feel  that  every  book  of  every  library 
is  available  for  his  service.  The  forecasts  comprised  talks 
by  Mr.  W.  Dawson  Johnston  on  "Libraries  and  Schools," 
hoping  for  more  instruction  in  the  use  of  reference  books 
and  library  methods  in  secondary  schools ;  by  Miss  Mary 
W.  Plummer  on  "Library  Training" ;  by  Mr.  Frank  P. 
Hill  on  "Special  Libraries  and  Consulting  Staffs" ;  and 
by  Mr.  Edward  F.  Stevens  on  "Possible  New  Fields  or 
Extensions  of  Library  Work."  Miss  Plummer  suggested 
that  special  training  for  the  librarian  in  law,  medicine,  edu- 
cation, technology  and  other  special  subjects  could  be  had 
by  establishing  library  schools  in  connection  with  uni- 
versities, so  that  library  students  in  any  line  of  work 
could  receive  the  special  training  necessary.  There  should 
be  trained  workers  with  adequate  salaries  in  every  depart- 
ment of  library  service. 

About  200  members  got  together  on  the  120th  meeting  of 
the  Club,  held  in  the  Chapel  of  Teachers  College  at  8  p.m., 
November  10,  1910.  As  a  change  from  the  ordinary 
program  a  "Convention  of  Books"  was  organized.  Mr. 
F.  A.  Hicks  spoke  of  his  enjoyment  of  Anthony  Trol- 
lope's  "Autobiography" ;  Miss  Julia  F.  Carter  gave  a 
materialistic  view  of  "Alice" ;  Miss  H.  R.  Keller  read  a 
paper  on  Jane  Addams'  "Spirit  of  Youth  and  the  City 
Streets";  Miss  Anna  C.  Tyler  eulogized  Arnold  Bennett's 
"Buried  Alive";  Henry  W.  Kent  idealized  on  "Bayle's 
Dictionary,"  and  an  appreciation  of  Rostand's  "Chanticler," 
from  the  pen  of  Helen  E.  Haines,  was  read  by  Miss  Mabel 
Haines.    The  convention  was  a  success. 

A  joint  meeting  of  the  New  York  and  Long  Island 
Library  Clubs  was  held  in  the  23d  Street  Y.  M.  C.  A.

assembly  room  on  the  evening  of  January  17,  1911.  The 
topic  was  the  "Mutual  Relations  of  Our  Foreign  Popula- 
tion and  the  Library."  Mr.  Charles  R.  Tovvson  described 
the  extensive  work  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  teaching  English 
to  foreigners.  Mrs.  V.  Simkhovitch  and  others  favored 
the  translation  of  English  classics  into  the  language  of  the 
foreigners  and  a  more  liberal  use  of  the  assembly  halls  in 
library  buildings.  An  animated  discussion  followed  in 
which  many  took  part.  The  Italians  were  declared  difficult 
to  reach  because  not  a  reading  public.  Mr.  Stevens  spoke 
of  a  movement  of  educated  Italians  in  Brooklyn  for  work 
among  their  own  people.  Miss  Rose  referred  to  work 
among  the  Chinese  begun  at  the  Chatham  Square  Branch, 
New  York  Public  Library.  Mr.  George  lies  gave  high 
praise  to  C.  A.  Perry's  "Wider  Use  of  the  School  Plant." 

The  meeting  of  the  Club  on  March  23d  was  devoted 
to  a  personally  conducted  inspection  of  the  new  building 
of  the  New  York  Public  Library.  After  remarks  of 
welcome  by  Dr.  Billings,  President  E.  H.  Anderson  con- 
ducted the  party  of  225  through  the  building  for  about 
two  hours. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  at  the  Ameri- 
can Museum  of  Natural  History  on  May  11,  1911,  at 
3  p.m.  One  of  the  largest  and  most  appreciative  audi- 
ences in  the  history  of  the  Club  listened  to  an  inspiring 
address  on  "Books  and  Happiness,"  by  Professor  William 
Lyon  Phelps,  of  Yale.  A  resolution  on  the  death  of 
Mr.  George  Hall  Baker,  for  ten  years  Librarian  of  Co- 
lumbia University,  presented  by  Miss  E.  G.  Baldwin,  was 
adopted.    Election  of  members  and  of  officers  followed. 

On  the  evening  of  September  21,  1911,  the  Library  Club 
tendered  a  reception  to  the  New  York  Library  Association, 


37 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


as  an  expression  of  welcome  to  the  delegates  to  the 
twenty-first  meeting  of  the  State  Association.  The  re- 
ception was  held  in  the  ball-room  of  the  Park  Avenue 
Hotel.  After  a  brief  address  of  welcome  by  President 
Virgin  of  the  Club,  and  responses  by  President  Hill  and 
Vice-President  Seward  for  the  Association,  formalities 
were  waived  and  guests  were  free  to  enjoy  the  evening 
socially.    Refreshments  were  served. 

The  November  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  on  the 
9th  at  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  at  3  p.m.  Mr. 
William  R.  Clifford,  Librarian  of  the  Museum,  outlined 
the  growth  of  its  library,  now  about  23,000  volumes. 
Mr.  F.  G.  Dellenbaugh,  Librarian  of  the  American  Geo- 
graphical Society,  read  a  paper  on  its  library  and  Mrs. 
A.  L.  Roesler  described  how  the  work  at  the  Library  of 
the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History  was  conducted. 
By  request,  Miss  Mary  W.  Plummer  told  how  the  organi- 
zation of  the  new  Library  School  of  the  New  York  Public 
Library  had  been  effected.  The  President  announced  that 
the  Program  Committee  planned  to  have  general  discus- 
sion of  topics  of  interest  at  future  meetings,  to  estab- 
lish closer  personal  and  professional  relations  among  the 
members. 

The  125th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  on  the  evening 
of  January  11,  1912,  in  the  Auditorium  of  the  New  York 
Historical  Society.  Librarian  Robert  H.  Kelby  extended 
a  hearty  welcome  and  read  a  paper  on  the  history  and 
scope  of  the  Society  from  its  foundation  in  1804.  Mrs. 
Emil  L.  Boas,  President  of  the  City  History  Club,  gave 
a  most  enthusiastic  account  of  the  work  of  that  Club 
with  its  student  members,  of  whom  there  are  fifty  groups 
working  under  thirty  leaders.    While  the  Club  has  no 


38 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


library  of  its  own,  it  creates  a  good  demand  for  books 
at  the  public  libraries.  In  the  absence  of  Mr.  F.  B. 
Bigelow,  Librarian  of  the  New  York  Society  Library,  his 
paper  descriptive  of  that  Library  and  its  work  was  read 
by  Miss  Rathbone.  Miss  Florence  E.  Young  gave  an  ac- 
count of  the  library  and  work  of  the  Genealogical  and 
Biographical  Society,  comparatively  little  known  because 
its  use  is  limited  to  members  and  their  friends. 

On  March  13,  1912,  the  third  meeting  on  the  special 
libraries  of  Manhattan  was  held  at  3  p.m.  at  the  Union 
Theological  Seminary.  Professor  W.  W.  Rockwell, 
Librarian,  spoke  on  the  theological  libraries  of  the  city, 
with  special  reference  to  that  of  the  Seminary.  He 
specially  mentioned  the  classification  for  theology  upon 
which  Miss  Julia  Pettee,  head  cataloguer,  had  been  work- 
ing for  three  years  past,  utilizing  the  preliminary  studies 
made  by  Dr.  Gillett  during  the  preceding  ten  years. 
Dr.  C.  R.  Gillett  spoke  on  the  McAlpin  collection  of 
books  on  British  theology.  Professor  Alexander  Marx 
gave  an  account  of  the  Library  of  the  Jewish  Theological 
Seminary,  which  ranks  as  one  of  the  first  of  its  class 
in  the  world,  only  the  Bodleian  and  British  Museum  ex- 
ceeding it  in  number  of  volumes.  Mr.  F.  C.  Hicks  read 
a  paper  on  the  libraries  of  the  newspaper  offices  in  New 
York  City.  Inspection  of  the  buildings  followed  the 
meeting. 

On  the  afternoon  of  May  2,  1912,  the  members  of  the 
Club  were  delightfully  entertained  from  five  to  six  o'clock 
by  the  Authors'  Club,  at  the  home  of  the  latter,  in  the 
Carnegie  Building.  The  books,  prints,  manuscripts  and 
other  treasures  were  examined  and  appreciated,  and  the 
hospitality  extended  by  Mr.  Bowker,  Mr.  lies  and  other 


39 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


members  of  the  Authors'  Club,  fully  enjoyed-  It  was  a 
memorable  occasion. 

On  the  evening  of  May  9th  a  meeting  was  held  in 
the  refectory  of  the  General  Theological  Seminary.  Mr. 
Andrew  Keogh,  of  Yale  University,  gave  an  interesting 
account  of  the  special  collections  in  the  Yale  Library, 
dwelling  mainly  upon  the  unique  collection  of  the 
Elizabethan  Club  at  that  University,  an  endowed  club 
without  dues  or  fees.  A  catalogue  of  members,  books, 
pictures,  etc.,  is  now  being  printed  by  the  Clarendon  Press 
with  the  seventeenth  century  type  of  Bishop  Fell. 

A  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  in  the  Chapel  of 
Teachers'  College  on  the  evening  of  October  11th.  Presi- 
dent Hicks  outlined  the  work  proposed  for  the  year,  call- 
ing attention  to  the  new  feature  of  assigning  special  sub- 
jects to  new  committees,  which  are  to  work  up  these  sub- 
jects and  report  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  year.  There 
are  six  of  these  new  committees,  viz.,  on  historical  manu- 
scripts, institutional  libraries,  prints,  school  libraries, 
special  collections  and  union  lists.  A  list  of  all  com- 
mittees appears  in  the  new  club  publication — the  Bulletin. 
Dr.  Lee  Galloway,  representing  the  Efficiency  Society,  gave 
an  address  on  the  "Modern  Efficiency  Movement."  Mr. 
W.  P.  Cutter  read  a  paper  on  "Efficiency  in  Libraries." 
The  President  read  an  account  of  some  experiments  in 
efficiency  tried  by  Miss  Hume  in  the  branches  of  the 
Queens  Borough  Public  Library.  A  discussion  followed 
in  which  Dr.  W.  D.  Johnston,  Miss  Hitchler  and  Dr. 
W.  W.  Rockwell  took  part. 

The  November  meeting  was  held  on  the  14th  at  3  p.m. 
in  the  Broadway  Tabernacle  Church  jointly  with  the  New 
York  Peace  Society.    The  topic  of  the  day  was  "Relation

of  Libraries  to  the  Peace  Movement."  President  Nicholas 
Murray  Butler  spoke  on  'The  Contemporary  Peace  Move- 
ment," its  three  centers  of  information  and  activity  and 
their  publications,  of  which  all  librarians  should  have 
knowledge.  He  also  spoke  of  the  periodical  and  pamphlet 
literature  on  the  subject.  Professor  Samuel  T.  Dutton, 
of  the  Peace  Society,  spoke  on  "The  Library  and  the 
Peace  Problem."  Mr.  Paul  Brockett,  of  the  Smithsonian 
Institution,  presented  a  paper  on  "International  Exchange 
and  Loan  r  Books."  Miss  H.  B.  Prescott  read  a  paper  on 
"International  Bureaus  of  Information"  by  Professor 
Adolf  C.  von  Noe,  of  the  University  of  Chicago,  treating 
of  the  great  bibliographical  projects  now  being  developed. 

The  130th  meeting,  a  joint  gathering  of  the  New  York 
and  Long  Island  Library  Clubs,  was  held  at  the  Ethical 
Culture  Building  on  January  9,  1913,  at  3  p.m.  The  general 
topic  was  "The  Relation  of  Libraries  to  Contemporary 
Movements  in  Education."  The  first  speaker,  Professor 
Ernst  M.  Henderson,  of  Adelphi  College,  spoke  on  "Prob- 
lems and  Movements  in  Modern  Education,"  dwelling  on 
vocational  education,  or  the  adaptation  of  education  to  the 
individual.  Miss  Kate  Turner,  of  Erasmus  Hall  High 
School,  read  a  paper  on  "Vocational  Guidance  in  the  High 
School."  Miss  Elizabeth  Farrell  gave  an  inspiring  ad- 
dress on  "The  Problem  of  Backward  and  Defective 
Children  in  the  Elementary  School."  Dr.  Bardwell,  Dis~ 
trict  Superintendent  of  Schools,  spoke  of  the  influence 
the  libraries  should  exert  in  seeing  that  practical  knowl- 
edge of  these  and  other  problems  percolates  into  the  home. 

The  Club  met  March  13th  at  8.30  p.m.  in  the  Lecture 
Room  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  on  23d  Street.  Memorial  tribute 
to  Dr.  John  Shaw  Billings  was  rendered  by  President

Hicks,  by  the  adoption  of  a  resolution  presented  by  Dr. 
William  Dawson  Johnston,  and  by  a  brief  address  by 
Dr.  Talcott  Williams,  in  which  he  stated  that  the  election 
of  Dr.  Billings  to  membership  in  the  National  Academy 
of  Sciences  was  "an  action  that  definitely  established 
notable  library  work  as  ranking  with  more  purely  scien- 
tific achievements." 

The  topic  of  the  evening  was  the  "Relation  of  Libraries 
to  the  Publicity  Movement."  Dr.  Talcott  Williams  spoke 
on  "Libraries  and  the  Public  Press,"  showing  the  im- 
portance to  the  present-day  investigator  of  up-to-date  in- 
formation found  only  in  newspapers,  each  of  which  each 
day  has  from  600  to  1,000  separate  articles  all  unindexed. 
He  illustrated  the  value  of  the  decimal  classification  in 
filing  newspaper  clippings.  Mr.  Leo  Arnstein  spoke  of 
"The  Municipal  Research  Library  and  Publicity  in  Public 
Affairs,"  dwelling  on  the  importance  of  keeping  the  pub- 
lic informed  on  public  affairs.  Mr.  J.  C.  Dana's  paper 
on  "The  Public  Library  and  Publicity  in  Public  Affairs" 
was  read  by  Mr.  Hicks. 

The  twenty-eighth  annual  meeting  of  the  Club  was 
held  May  8,  1913,  in  the  Hall  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  7  East 
15th  Street.  The  annual  election  was  held  and  full  reports 
of  work  done  by  the  various  committees  were  read.  These 
reports  "showed  much  research  and  investigation  into  local 
conditions  and  some  were  of  such  a  nature  as  to  promise 
to  be  of  more  than  local  use  and  interest."  They  are  all 
printed  in  full  in  the  Bulletin  for  June. 

The  October  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  on  the  9th 
in  the  Lecture  Hall  of  the  Botanical  Museum,  at  3  p.m. 
The  President,  Miss  Mary  W.  Plummer,  announced  the 
general  topic  for  the  year  to  be  the  "City,"  and  the  special

subject  for  the  meeting  "Education  Outside  of  Books." 
Dr.  N.  L.  Britton,  Director  of  the  New  York  Botanical 
Garden,  gave  an  illustrated  address  on  "Educational  Ac- 
tivities of  the  Botanical  Garden."  Dr.  Raymond  L. 
Ditmars,  curator  of  the  Zoological  Park,  gave  an  account 
of  "The  Zoological  Society  and  Its  Park,"  which,  begun  in 
1899,  has  grown  to  be  the  finest  in  the  world.  At  the 
close  of  his  talk  he  gave  a  "stereopticon  trip"  around  the 
park,  showing  many  interesting  slides. 

On  December  19,  1913,  at  3  p.m.,  a  joint  meeting  of 
the  Long  Island  and  New  York  Library  Clubs  and  the  New 
Jersey  Library  Association  was  held  in  the  Auditorium  of 
the  Horace  Mann  School.  Miss  Plummer  presided  and 
introduced  the  English  poet,  Mr.  Alfred  Noyes,  who  spoke 
on  "The  Sea  in  Tennyson's  Poems,"  following  his  address 
with  readings  from  his  own  poems. 

The  135th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  January  22, 
1914,  in  the  Auditorium  of  the  National  Headquarters  of 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  Miss  Plummer  presiding.  Mr.  John 
Collier,  of  the  People's  Institute,  gave  an  address  on 
"The  Moving  Picture  Show,"  showing  how  the  production 
of  films  had  been  monopolized  commercially,  and  the  diffi- 
culty of  getting  films  of  educational  value.  Mr.  William 
McAndrew  gave  his  experience  of  the  uncertainty  of 
moving  pictures,  and  the  difficulty  of  procuring  suitable 
films  for  his  school.  Miss  Hassler  told  briefly  how  the 
Queensborough  Public  Library  had  used  moving  pictures 
to  create  public  interest. 

The  annual  meeting  was  held  on  the  afternoon  of 
May  14th,  at  the  Washington  Irving  High  School.  The 
topic  for  the  day  was  "Immigration :  a.  How  It  Affects 
New  York  City;  b.  How  New  York  City  Affects  the  Im- 


43

migrant."  The  speakers  were  Mr.  Henry  C.  Wright,  from 
the  Department  of  Charities ;  Deputy  Commissioner  Bur- 
dette  G.  Lewis,  of  the  Department  of  Public  Correction ; 
Congressman  William  S.  Bennet,  and  Mr.  Joseph  Mayper. 
The  result  was  a  thorough  discussion  of  the  immigrant 
from  many  points  of  view,  Mr.  Bennet  presenting  a  very 
optimistic  view  of  his  value  economically,  morally  and 
politically. 

A  special  meeting  of  the  New  York  Library  Club  was 
held  at  the  New  York  Public  Library,  42d  Street,  June  29, 
1914,  at  4  pm.  The  resolutions  passed  by  the  Council 
June  19,  recommending  consolidation  with  the  Long  Island 
Library  Club,  were  read  and  the  following  resolutions  were 
adopted  unanimously : 

Resolved,  That  the  New  York  Library  Club  invites 
the  Long  Island  Library  Club  to  consolidate  with  the 
New  York  Library  Club. 

Resolved,  That  if  the  Long  Island  Library  Club  accepts 
the  invitation  of  the  New  York  Library  Club  to  consoli- 
date, the  members  of  the  Long  Island  Library  Club 
thereby  become  members  of  the  New  York  Library  Club 
and  the  dues  of  all  members  of  the  Long  Island  Library 
Club  be  considered  paid  until  January  1,  1915. 

The  Long  Island  Library  Club,  at  a  special  meeting 
held  September  14,  1914,  accepted  the  invitation  and  voted 
to  consolidate  with  the  New  York  Library  Club,  and  at 
a  meeting  of  the  Council  of  the  latter  club,  held  Sep- 
tember 21,  the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  incorporate 
the  names  in  the  list  of  members  of  the  Long  Island 
Library  Club  in  the  list  of  members  of  the  New  York 
Library  Club. 

The  138th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  in  the  Audi- 


44 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


torium  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  7  East  15th  Street,  October  8, 

1914,  at  8.15  p.m.  The  President  congratulated  the  Club 
on  the  consolidation  and  welcomed  the  new  members. 
Mr.  Donald  Hendry,  who  was  in  charge  of  the  American 
Library  Association  Exhibit  at  Leipsic,  read  a  paper  en- 
titled "An  On-looker  at  Leipsic."  A  communication  from 
the  officers  of  the  Club  elected  at  the  annual  meeting 
in  May  was  read  tendering  their  resignation,  "to  enable 
the  Club  as  at  present  constituted  to  elect  a  ticket  of  its 
own."  New  officers  were  elected.  Mr.  Frederick  W. 
Jenkins,  the  new  president,  made  a  brief  address  on  taking 
the  chair. 

On  November  12,  1914,  the  Club  met  in  the  Assembly 
Room  of  the  Merchants'  Association  in  the  Woolworth 
Building,  at  2.45  p.m.,  310  members  and  guests  in  attend- 
ance. Dr.  Frederick  A.  Cleveland  of  the  Bureau"  of 
Municipal  Research,  gave  an  interesting  account  of  the 
origin,  development  and  work  of  that  Bureau.  The  Bureau 
gets  at  the  facts  and  lays  them  before  the  official  involved 
that  he  may  make  the  necessary  changes.  After  much 
opposition  in  the  beginning  the  Bureau  in  nearly  every 
instance  is  now  working  in  harmony  with  the  official  on 
the  problems  of  his  office. 

The  140th  meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  January  14, 

1915,  in  the  Hall  of  the  Long  Island  Historical  Society, 
Brooklyn,  at  3  p.m.  Milo  H.  Gates,  D.D.,  delivered  an 
address  on  "The  Problem  for  the  Church  and  the  Library." 

The  March  meeting  was  held  on  the  11th  in  the  Audi- 
torium of  the  National  Board  of  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  600  Lexing- 
ton Avenue,  at  8  p.m.  The  general  topic  was  "The  Child 
in  New  York  City."  Mr.  Owen  R.  Lovejoy  spoke  on 
"The   Child   at  Work."     Mr.   William   L.   Ettinger  on 


45 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


"The  Child  at  School,"  with  special  reference  to  pre- 
vocational  training.  Miss  Anna  B.  Gallup  told  of  "The 
Child  in  the  Museum"  and  Mr.  Lee  F.  Hamner  spoke  of 
what  is  done  for  "The  Child  at  Play."  Miss  Annie  Carroll 
Moore  spoke  briefly  on  "Children  in  the  Library,"  closing 
an  evening's  discussion  of  unusual  interest  and  value. 

By  invitation  of  Senator  William  Andrews  Clark,  the 
members  of  the  Club,  on  March  13,  1915,  from  3  to  6  p.m.,, 
were  given  an  opportunity  to  visit  his  art  galleries  at  his 
palatial  residence  on  Fifth  Avenue.  Nearly  300  members 
availed  themselves  of  the  privilege,  and  enjoyed  the  rare 
treat  of  studying  the  famous  pictures  in  his  collection,  as 
well  as  the  curios  in  his  museum.  The  Senator  was  pres- 
ent in  person  and  took  evident  pleasure  in  describing  some 
of  his  most  highly  valued  art  treasures. 

The  Club  met  for  its  142d  meeting,  the  thirtieth  annual,, 
at  the  Washington  Irving  High  School,  at  3.30  p.m., 
May  13,  1915.  After  a  short  organ  recital  by  Professor 
Neidlinger,  organist  of  the  school,  Mr.  Eugene  Nowland, 
Stage  Director  of  the  Educational  Department  of  the 
Edison  Studio,  gave  an  address  on  the  "Possibilities  of 
the  Moving  Picture  as  an  Aid  in  Education."  He  showed 
films  illustrating  the  manufacture  of  coins  at  the  Phila- 
delphia mint,  and  pictures  of  pond  life  magnified  some 
millions  of  times.  These  were  followed  by  "The  Boston 
Tea  Party."  The  annual  election  of  officers  then  took 
place. 

In  finishing  this  historical  sketch  of  the  second  fifteen 
year  period  of  the  New  York  Library  Club,  in  the  thirty- 
first  year  of  its  activities  and  the  sixty-first  since  his 
own  entrance  upon  library  work,  the  writer  wishes  to 
record  his  profound  thankfulness  that  it  has  been  his 


46 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


great  privilege  to  live  as  a  contemporary  of  the  growth 
and  development  of  the  Library  Movement  in  our  country. 
Born  in  the  year  in  which  Mr.  Astor  drafted  the  will  by 
which  he  founded  the  Astor  Library,  begininng  library 
work  the  same  year  that  Mr.  Jewett  became  Librarian 
of  the  Boston  Public  Library,  studying  and  working  at 
Harvard  College  four  years  under  the  tutelage  of  Sibley 
and  Ezra  Abbot,  then  just  appointed  Librarian  and  Assist- 
ant Librarian,  respectively,  it  has  been  his  great  good 
fortune  in  succeeding  years  to  know  well  many,  and  to 
work  with  several  of  the  master  leaders  who  have  raised 
librarianship  to  its  recognized  high  position  among  the 
learned  professions.  Winsor,  Cutter,  Saunders,  Poole, 
Van  Name,  Spofford,  Fiske,  Noyes,  Larned,  Crunden, 
Baker,  Edmands,  Thomson,  Canfield,  Billings,  Miss  James, 
Miss  Plummer  are  names  of  well-known  masters  of  our 
craft  who  have  passed  beyond  our  ken.
